You might also try the book "How Much Is That In Real Money?- A Historical
Price Index for Use As a Deflator of Money Values in the Economy of the
United States." by John J. McCusker. It is unfortunetely out of print, but a
search on Amazon.com or Bibliofind.com might prove fruitful. It is a good
source for finding a range of values over time.
Good luck
